Charlie Nelligan

[smcelvaney]

I'm from Monaghan - just visiting this wonderful site.
I want to settle a bet.
How many All-Ireland medals does Charlie Nelligan have.
And how many of those did he actually play in (i.e. did he win many /any as sub keeper.

Actual and factual replies only please - No speculation


Many thanks.

Welcome - you've come to the right place :-)

Anyway, Charlie has 7 AI medals, 1978-81 and 1984-86. He played in them all. He won minor and U-21 medals in 1975 but not senior. He won U-21 in '76 and 77 too. So he had the distinction (along with Ogie Moran) of winning AI medals in seven consecutive years.

Hope that collects for you!?

He won all his medals in the same position just like Ogie
